What impressed you most about this Japan team?

In anime, these 5 throws should last about 4 episodes. Each throw has flashback of Othani and Trout, follow by teammate flashback. Then they will have monologue between the protagonists. The final throw will not be shown, it will skip forward to future where they already gone back to home, 3 months has passed. Then you will see their team holding the cup in picture frame.

The dream scenario happened. Ohtani vs Trout and with the game on the line on a full count

[anhthanhthongsoai]

"These two players will come back to play on the same team, but one with a trophy". Nothing but respect for these two extraordinately players.

[wrinkledasian]

One of the greatest moments in baseball. Two transcendent players facing off where the outcome was secondary. Also, having it be at full count made it perfect.

[mikeholguin]

I don't watch baseball, but as a sports enthusiast, I know what a moment this was! Baseball fans sure did get a treat with this final at bat! Good stuff

[christopherdavis]

This was the biggest Naruto Sasuke Goku Vegeta moment of all sports history.

[みほかずき]

This pitcher won the home run title that year.

[escdelesp]

I started watching baseball at 8 years old with the 81 WS. I'm now 51. I doubt I will see another Shohei Ohtani in my lifetime. WOW

[hoewonchung]

Wow that last pitch slider, perfect location, speed and movement. no one can hit that pitch. Congratulations team Japan.

[joits]

What a moment! I love that Ohtani took it to Trout. Two fastballs directly over the plate at 100mph and then a slider to end it??? That's the stuff of legends.

[bryanbourcier]

this, this right here made me start watching baseball again after 10yrs of not caring

[creativerecreations]

This will very likely go down as the best at bat in all of baseball history and it's not even close to another. 3-2, 2 outs, top of the 9th, the two best players in baseball who are both on the SAME MLB team and facing each other, representing for their own country, in the last game of the championship??? You literally couldn't plan something this incredible.

[chartreusecircle]

Shohei is the main character. We’re all just living in his world.

[Skizzlesnap]

This is one of those historic matchups that’ll live on forever.

[BryanChance]

The most epic showdown ever between team mates and country. Brought tears to my eyes.

[Noname-qwkb]

This mfer throws 100 mph and is one of the best hitters in the league if not the best… and people still wanna hate

[michaeldelcampo]

That last pitch was perfect. The balls it takes to throw a slider across the middle of the plate on a 3-2 count against one of the best hitters all-time in his prime in the final frame of the championship game, we just witnessed a legend. He hangs that slider, the ball is gone, homerun.

[myungbaklee]

There are no words can describe this moment. This is the most impressive scene in history of baseball.

[richc]

Watch at 3:37 Shohei tipping his cap and bowing to the U.S. dugout (and Trout) in a gesture of respect. Asian respect for the game and opponents.
